Melissa H. Sandoval | The Canine Aura
About this Artist:
Melissa has always loved animals. Horses, dogs, cats, and everything in between. Her friends would call her house the ‘Melissa Family Zoo.’ Photography started as a hobby – first taking an embarrassing amount of sleeping dog photos—and has morphed into a passion project (although still taking photos of dogs). Now, translating her visions into reality, Melissa cannot wait to see where photography takes her.
About this Work:
Dogs have always been a constant in my life. Growing up, not only did we have multiple dogs within our home, but we were also the car who would stop anytime we saw a dog in need (rain or shine). I’ve always been fascinated by the different personalities each dog has. Some are playful, nervous, fiercely loyal, obedient, independent, and defiant.
My goal with this series is to evoke the inner personality of each dog, bringing them to life from the inside out.
